Sitting here crying while after getting WhatsApped the photo on the right, so let me tell you a little story about how we got here from the photo on the left and why repatriation research matters!

How did we ever get any cats to take meds before churu

I’ll probably replay it at some point with the DLC active and maybe go for a different alignment and romance

Finished Rogue Trader!

Overall I had a fun time! There were a couple fights I ended up doing on story instead of normal, but mostly I found the combat pretty interesting

I liked the companions & romance, although I didn’t quite manage the ending I wanted. & unfortunately one quest was bugged out:/

Star Trek giveth color and Star Trek taketh it away

Low point though, for real: the costumes. So drab!!

Watched Star Trek The Motion Picture for the first time tonight

Despite its rough reputation, I really enjoyed it!

-I love how *in space* it felt
-no villain, just a justified antagonist & a confused antagonist, was really interesting to me
-absolutely stunning alien design

This is 100% me and my husband

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

These are all great but that first one is so beautiful

Our cat Tilly sitting in front of the tv with her paw on the screen where the parachutes for Artemis II are open

Tilly ‘helping’ Artemis II to splashdown safely

Grayscale image of the capsule under the parachutes, which look silvery. The capsule is glowing brilliantly along the bottom where the heat shield took the brunt of the atmospheric beating.

Love this shot. I think this is a thermal infrared camera, showing how the bottom of the capsule is still glowing due to its warmth after hypersonically ramming the atmosphere — compressing a gas heats it up a LOT when you're moving at superorbital speeds.

Yaaaaaay chutes
SPLASHDOWN CONFIRMED

Incredibly exciting to see the Artemis descent and what a huge relief to see them land safely

My drop was last Friday, which made a huge difference! I got tickets at $150 each (of course, they’re not the best seats, but I figure my sister & nieces won’t mind)

Good luck with your drops!

I managed to snag some track & field and archery!

Gymnastics was a dim, fleeting hope (which is probably for the best, I didn’t have to justify thousands of dollars in tickets instead of hundreds)

Maybe I *should* play Blue Prince again

Spectacular images taken by the Artemis II crew of earthset and the eclipse. Just incredible. NASA posts them here and it’s free to access: images.nasa.gov

Captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, this image shows the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun. From the crew’s perspective, the Moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun, creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and extending the view far beyond what is possible from Earth. The corona forms a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk, revealing details of the Sun’s outer atmosphere typically hidden by its brightness. Also visible are stars, typically too faint to see when imaging the Moon, but with the Moon in darkness stars are readily imaged. This unique vantage point provides both a striking visual and a valuable opportunity for astronauts to document and describe the corona during humanity’s return to deep space. The faint glow of the nearside of the Moon is visible in this image, having been illuminated by light reflected off the Earth. [alt text from NASA]

The #Artemis II astronauts said they needed more superlatives to describe their view of the eclipse, when the Sun was behind the Moon and its near surface was faintly illuminated by Earthshine

I loved this. Like, here’s a shot of Venus, the moon, and the sun, but all you can see is Venus

damn i'm tearing up again

View of the NASA livestream of the Artemis II mission. There is a box in the corner with a photo of a woman, with text: "Voice of Christina Koch, Artemis II Mission specialist"

"I had an overwhelming sense of being moved by the moon...it is a real place, and when we have that perspective and we compare it to our home of the Earth it just reminds us how much we have in common - everything we need the Earth provides, and that is in and of itself somewhat of a miracle."

I think you mean keming

Oh man, what a satisfying feeling

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Not my OC, but I felt I'd be amiss if I didn't take this opportunity to draw the Destiny 2 lucent moth as a lil guy from Hollow Knight 💙
